Author of RAWvolution: Gourmet Living Cuisine (published by Harper Collins), and the forthcoming follow-up, The RAWvolution Continues, to be published by Simon & Schuster in July of 2013, Matt Amsden has established himself as one of the world's premier raw chefs. Matt's company, RAWvolution was the first of its kind, delivering prepared raw meals in Los Angeles, and eventually throughout the entire United States.

Matt began eating a diet of exclusively raw foods virtually overnight after hearing an interview with author David Wolfe on the Howard Stern show in 1998. Matt, along with his wife Janabai, have since opened raw cafés in both Santa Monica, California and New York City, and have shared their talent with thousands including Alicia Silverstone, Cher, Susan Sarandon and super-model Carol Alt.
